Loss of imprinting in colorectal cancer linked to hypomethylation of H19 and IGF2
(Univesity of Nairobi, 2002)
Epigenetic alterations in human cancers include global DNA hypomethylation,gene hypomethylation and promoter hypermethylation, and loss of imprinting (LOI) of the insulin-like growth factor-II gene (IGF2). A mechanism for ...
Babesia gibsoni: Identification of an immunodominant, interspersed repeat antigen
(2008)
In this report, an immunodominant antigen called BgIRA from Babesia gibsoni is identified and described. A highly repetitive antigen was screened from a cDNA library. The genomic BgIRA gene exists as single cope gene and ...
Life at the top: rank and stress in wild male baboons
(Univesity of Nairobi, 2011)
In social hierarchies, dominant individuals experience reproductive and health benefits, but the costs of social dominance remain a topic of debate. Prevailing hypotheses predict that higher-ranking males experience higher ...

Characterization of the Babesia gibsoni 12-kDa protein as a potential antigen for the serodiagnosis
(2009)
A novel gene, BgP12, encoding a 12-kDa protein was identified from Babesia gibsoni. The full-length cDNA of BgP12 contains an open reading frame of 378 bp, corresponding to 126 amino acid (aa) residues consisting of a ...
The effect of α2-adrenoceptor stimulation with guanfacin on heat production of restricted fed steers kept at −9, 11 or 28°C and on ad libitum fed steers acclimated to −19 and 22°C
(1995)
1. Guanfacin, an α2-adrenergic agonist was used to examine the α2-adrenoceptor mediated thermogenic and metabolic effects in steers (Bos taurus) kept at either −9, 11 or 28°C and in ad libitum fed steers acclimated to −19 ...
Changes In Plasma And Erythrocyte Sodium And Potassium Concentrations In Dairy Heifers During Starvation
(University of Nairobi, 1990)
The effects of starvation on plasma and erythrocyte Na and K concentrations were determined in a group of 10 heifers over a period of 40 hours. Both the plasma and erythrocyte K concentrations decreased during starvation. ...
Expression of truncated Babesia gibsoni thrombospondin-related adhesive proteins in Escherichia coli and evaluation of their diagnostic potential by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
(2011)
Among the previously established enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), an ELISA using the full length of a recombinant thrombospondin-related adhesive protein of Babesia gibsoni (rBgTRAPf) is considered as the most ...
Effects of intravenous administration of D-penicillamine on Liver Copper stores of housed sheep
